7. Thickening Agent for Jams and Sauces
Lemon seeds contain natural pectin, a substance commonly used to thicken jams, jellies, and sauces. To use them as a thickener:
- Place the seeds in a small muslin bag or tea infuser.
- Let them simmer with your jam or sauce.
- Remove the seeds once the desired consistency is achieved. This method adds a natural thickness to your recipes without the need for artificial thickeners.
